There were four airplanes with terrorists in them that crashed. Because the government shut down all US airspace right after the first one hit, no one could fly after that so probably just the four.
During World War II in the Pacific Ocean, it was necessary for the Allies to fight from island to island. The Japanese had occupied dozens of Pacific islands. They all either needed to be taken or cut off from supply lines. Many of the islands were strategic in nature and provided bases to fly from to attack the Japanese homeland.
Pearl HarborThere may have been other events, but the deciding event was the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor.
There are two reasons why America wanted to capture Iwo Jima. There were two airstrips on Iwo Jima and the Americans could use those to land broken B-29's that needed repairing. The other reason is that If the Americans are going to bomb japan, Iwo Jima would inform the main land of Japan and form a counter-strike. It was mandatory for the americans to take Iwo Jima, because if they didn't Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have been failures.
